verizon-blackberry-curve-8530 Curve 8530 aka the BlackBerry Curve 2 for a November 20 launch. According to previous leaked information we already knew that the Curve 2 was en route to Verizon Wireless by the end of the year so it was basically just a matter of time until Big Red announced its arrival.
But if you’d fancy a Curve 2 without having to sign a new deal with Verizon we now have an alternative for you. Sprint has also hurried to confirm the device. While there are no arrival dates specified yet and we have no official prices, Sprint has neatly rolled out a webpage showing the purple version of the phone with Sprint’s logo on top. If you want to know more details about Sprint’s BlackBerry 9530 you can always sign up on the page to find out more. Chances are the Sprint wants to have the phone ready on or around November 20 in order to properly compete against its CDMA archenemy, Verizon Wireless.

The spanking new BlackBerry Curve 8530 is now available via Verizon Wireless. It is actually the first full-QWERTY BlackBerry from Verizon to feature RIM’s new optical trackpad and OS 5.0. The smartphone has a 2.5-inch LCD display with a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 256MB of flash memory. Other features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, Stereo Bluetooth, support for microSD cards and dedicated multimedia keys. Available in Black and Smoky Violet, the Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8530 retails for $99.99 after a $100 mail in rebate.
